Simulation is an important aspect to consider when designing an inspection system based upon machine vision. The tire inspection system uses thermal cameras to inspect the surface of a tire. The simulation of a tire inspection system can yield an optimal set of parameters for a thermal camera, or given a specific thermal camera provide information on the optimal placement of the camera. Since t...

The A.C. Field Measurement technique was originally developed as a non-contacting version of the A.C. Potential Drop technique, with the aim of accurately measuring the depth of surface-breaking fatigue cracks at welds underwater. Since then, the technique has expanded into many diverse applications, both underwater and in air. This paper describes the evolution of ACFM equipment from the first...

A template matching is a popular method for visual recognition. It costs much time to detect target objects. We have applied a Fuzzy and Neural Network algorithm to solve this problem. However, the problem to mistake recognizing the target object is not solved. Hence, in this paper, we propose a robust visual recognition algorithm for the autonomous robot navigation. The proposing algorithm emp...

The authors have been involved in the implementation of a total quality control project in a communications equipment company, whose products are mounted and tested in a manufacturing plant controlled by an IBM Token Ring LAN. The first implementation of total quality control project was an ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) LAN node that runs a program of verification for single-channel and multic...

INTRODUCTION THE market for LCDs (liquid crystal displays) continues to be characterized by rapidly falling prices and the use of LCDs in large-screen TVs (televisions). As LCD TVs become larger, it has become necessary for the production lines that manufacture them to adopt larger mother glass substrates and increase production speed both to increase screen size and reduce the production cost ...

Internal heat of electrical equipment rises due to various reasons such as contact problems, unbalance loading, cracks in insulation, defective relays or terminal blocks, etc until eventual failure which can cause unplanned outages and possible injuries. Therefore, early prevention of thermal abnormalities in electrical equipment is necessary to avoid failure. Nowadays a fast, reliable, non-con...
